Make sure that you have set it to search "all mailboxes" and "entire message" and enter a word which you know was in the subject or in the sender address. If nothing is found then you know that the message has really been deleted, but if it is found then it will tell you where it is - maybe somewhere where you did not expect. I cannot give you exact instructions on how to use search (my machine is very old) but I assume that it is still in modern versions of mail and has the same features.
